Actual Characteristics of the Glands Distributed in the Lamina Propria Mucosae of the Fowl Esophagus Okajimas Folia Anat. Jpn., 68(1): 41-46, May, 1991 Actual Characteristics of the Glands Distributed in the Lamina Propria Mucosae of the Fowl Esophagus By Taizo SHIBATA, Masatake IMAI, Keiichi MOROGUCHI, Yoshihiko TAKADA and Hiroyuki HAYAMA Department of Anatomy, Kanazawa Medical University, Uchinada-machi, Kahoku-gun, Ishikawa, 920-02 Japan -Received for Publication, February 15, 1991- Key Words: Gastric glands, esophagus, Fowl Summary: We performed histological and histochemical investigations on the glands distributed in the lamina propria mucosae of the fowl esophagus and demonstrated their actual characteristics. 1. Glandular cells of the compound tubular glands located in the lamina propria mucosae contained a number of fine pepsinogen granules. 2. Reactions to neutral, weak and strong acid mucopolysaccharides, neutral mucus type II and III and sialomucin were evidently positive in these cells. 3. Based on the facts in 1) and 2), we consider that the glands located in the fowl esophagus are undifferentiated gastric glands. 4. The same glands possessed no parietal cells. 5. We demonstrated that the esophageal cardiac glands in the lamina propria mucosae of human esophagus were undifferentiated gastric glands, and they possessed parietal cells. These glands were confirmed in humans alone among the mammalia. 6. The significance of the existence of the same kind of gland in human and fowl esophagus is extremely important. 7. PAS-positive substance in the above-mentioned glands in the fowl esophagus contains sulfuric, acid, neutral mucopolysaccaride and neutral mucus of type II and III but no glycogen. The compound tubular glands distributed in the lamina propria mucosae of the fowl esophagus have been described as mucous glands. We performed histochemical investigation and demonstrated that these glands were undifferentiated gastric glands.

Under the auspices of the World Association of Veterinary Anatomists (W.A.V.A.), the International Committee on Veterinary Anatomical Nomenclature (I.C.V.A.N.) appointed in Giessen, 1965, a Subcommittee on Histology and Embryology which started a working relation with the Subcommittee on Histology of the former International Anatomical Nomenclature Committee. In Mexico City, 1971, this Subcommittee presented a document entitled Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft as a basis for the continued work of the newly-appointed Subcommittee on Histological Nomenclature. This resulted in the editing of the Nomina Histologica Veterinaria: A Working Draft II (Toulouse, 1974), followed by preparations for publication of a Nomina Histologica Veterinaria.

Mononuclear leukocytes were the predominant inflammatory cell throughout the study, although polymorphonuclear cell infiltrates were detected as well. Immunohistochemical analyses of gastric mucosa from H. felis-infected mice revealed the presence of mucosal B220+ cells coalescing into lymphoid follicles surrounded by aggregates of Thy-1.2+ T cells; CD4+, CD5+, and of T cells predominated in organized gastric mucosal and submucosal lymphoid tissue, and CD11b+ cells occurred frequently in the mucosa. Follicular B cells comprised immunoglobulin M' (IgM+) and IgA+ cells. Numerous IgA-producing B cells were present in the gastric glands, the lamina propria, and gastric epithelium. Infected animals developed anti-H. felis serum IgM antibody responses up to 8 weeks postinfection and significant levels of IgG anti-H. felis antibody in serum, which remained elevated throughout the 50-week course of the study.

  • The Digestive and Endocrine Systems Examination
    The Digestive and Lesson 3 Endocrine Systems Lesson 3 ASSIGNMENT 6 Read in your textbook, Clinical Anatomy and Physiology for Veterinary Technicians, pages 358–377, 436, and 474–475. Then read Assignment 6 in this study guide. Introduction The endocrine system involves the secretion of chemicals called hormones by glands within the body. These chemicals control bodily functions, often at locations very distant from the gland that secreted the chemical. The opposite of endocrine is exocrine, which involves the secretion of sub- stances into spaces outside the body. The glands in the skin and gastrointestinal tract are examples of exocrine organs. (The lumen of the intestine is a space that technically isn’t “within” the body, because it’s continuous with the outside environment via the mouth and anus.) The pancreas is unique in being both an endocrine gland and an exocrine gland. The endocrine function is the secretion of substances such as insulin, which metabolizes sugar. The exocrine function involves the secretion of digestive enzymes into the duodenum. Many endocrine organs exist throughout the body (see Table 15-2 on page 360 of your textbook). While they’re all classified as endocrine glands, their anatomy and functions aren’t necessarily similar or even remotely related. Therefore, there isn’t really a grand organizational scheme to this sys- tem as there is with some of the other body systems. The glands are considered together only because their means of secretion is similar. All endocrine glands secrete hormones in the form of proteins that travel via the blood to the target organ for that particular hormone.
